    Captain Dan and his crew consistently deliver exceptional snorkeling adventures to Lanai that feel more intimate than the typical big boat tours. Reviewers rave about the personalized attention and willingness to go the extra mile, like switching locations when visibility isn't ideal or slowing down to watch whales breach nearby. The team's knowledge of Hawaiian waters and marine life really shines through, and they excel at making everyone feel safe and comfortable, even helping guests who experience motion sickness. The snorkeling spots, particularly Fish Rock in Manele Bay, get high marks for abundant sea life. Beyond the underwater experience, guests regularly encounter bonus wildlife sightings like spinner dolphins, humpback whales, sea turtles, and monk seals. The continental breakfast and quality gear are thoughtful touches. Several reviewers appreciate that this operation focuses on getting you in the water efficiently rather than wasting time with unnecessary extras. The jet boat option also gets enthusiastic mentions for combining thrills with marine life encounters.

    Excellent snorkeling tour with Captain Dan and Marissa!! Great communication the day before letting us know where to meet up on the beach and easy check in process. As soon as we departed for the tour we were severed a continental style breakfast. We stopped at two snorkeling spots and saw a ton of fish. The second spot Fish Rock was super cool too! Heading to the second spot we were met with a large pod of about 50 spinner dolphins. We stopped to watch the jump and play all around us. On the ride back to the drop off point we saw a baby Humpback spout a few times as he was learning to breach. Then as we got closer to our return a HUGE whale breached. We waited a few but it never came up again. This was an excellent unexpected bonus to our already great experience. Would do again for sure!
